The tyranny of the magistrate is not less formidable than that of the multitude.
Leadership is about leaving a legacy, not just a balance sheet.
The idea that we will make a society where literally everybody is graded, the good at the top, bad at the bottom, exactly done as it should be, is impossible. There are simply too many random factors: accidents, accidents of birth, accidents of things dropping on people's heads, illnesses, etc. We will never get to grade them, never get to grade people as they should.
Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something.
We should focus on both short-term gains and long-term value creation.
